# Upgrade and Migration Overview

This section provides the conceptual and procedural details for upgrading your ForgeOps deployment environment or migrating utilities therein.

|   |                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                |

|   | Because the Ping Advanced Identity Software is highly customizable, testing all possible upgrade scenarios is challenging. It is your responsibility to validate that these upgrade steps work correctly in a test environment with your customized configuration before you upgrade a production environment. |

Upgrading ForgeOps deployments involves three main sections:

* Upgrade ForgeOps deployment from 2025.1

  * [Upgrade Helm charts](update-helm.html)

* Upgrade Ping Advanced Identity Software Docker images

  * [Upgrade Ping Advanced Identity Software Docker images to new major or minor version](upgrade-product.html).

  * [Upgrade Ping Advanced Identity Software Docker image to new patch release](upgrade-patch.html).

* Migrate from previous ForgeOps releases

  * [Kustomize configurations](migrate-forgeops.html).

  * [From 7.4 to 7.5](mig-74-75.html).

[Migrate secrets from Secret Agent to Helm-based secrets](../prepare/security/migrate-helmsec.html).
